About Us

Company Overview

We identified the need for a design consultancy, which can offer the full range of design services from initial concept through to volume manufacture.

Previous experiences in industry highlighted certain shortcomings in industrial design, which provided effective results but failed to continue the design phase into manufacturing, considering value analysis and production engineering issues.

Our expertise lies with industrial design and practical engineering using the latest techniques and materials to provide solutions designed specifically for manufacturing to the proposed volumes.

With over 40 years experience in design and production engineering, we are confident we can overcome most manufacturing difficulties and provide real time and financial savings to our customers.

We are experienced in Mechanical, Electro-Mechanical and Electronic Design for many components and systems intended for general industrial, consumer, leisure, telecomms, automotive, medical and military markets.

How it Usually Works

Our clients usually come to us with a concept – and sometimes a few problems. It might be a new product for which they need a design that will perform well, look great, and won’t shatter the manufacturing budget.

Our job at this stage is to assess the practicality of the client’s expectations.

We rarely have to say, “Sorry, it can’t be done”, but we may well come up with a better way of achieving the required result. At the end of the brainstorming session, we’ll each have a clear picture of the way forward.

This is where you’d expect us to wheel in the technology. Fair enough; it’s true to say that we use all of the relevant computer-aided technologies, and we’re as slick and proficient with them as the best.

But that’s not the important part. The vital component is the vision and experience of the designer – and that’s what makes the finished product something special.

We help to keep costs down

PD Components was established to supply and manufacture component parts following their successful design and development.

We recognised the need in the market place for a company that could supply low cost components from the Far East to the smaller businesses, who find UK and EC costs too high and to reduce the traditionally long lead times for tooled components.

With many design projects, the smaller businesses find the cost of tooling and supply of bespoke components carry a too high a burden on their financial resources, resulting in many projects failing to reach production.

With our well established links in the UK, EU and with the Far East through our partners, interest in this service has been considerable.

Component supply is delivered direct to you in the volumes required.

We work closely with carefully selected companies offering high quality standards to ISO9002 minimum, covering many different manufacturing processes and with shipping agents to ensure a trouble free service.
